阿塞拜疆从1991从苏联独立出来后，一直投入巨资建设基础设施和现代化建筑，希望从苏联巨大的遗留规划阴影中走出。1997年，阿塞拜疆任命
扎哈哈迪德为盖达尔•阿利耶夫文化中心的总建筑师，希望这个建筑能够成为巴库的文化中心，真正为国家民族发展起到促进作用，而不是像苏联
的纪念物那样空洞和大而无当。

Architects
As part of the former Soviet Union, the urbanism and architecture of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan on the Western coast of the Caspian Sea,
was heavily influenced by the planning of that era. Since its independence in 1991, Azerbaijan has invested heavily in modernising and
developing Baku’s infrastructure and architecture, departing from its legacy of normative Soviet Modernism.
Zaha Hadid Architects was appointed as design architects of the Heydar Aliyev Center following a competition in 2007. The Center, designed
to become the primary building for the nation’s cultural programs, breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture that is so
prevalent in Baku, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities of Azeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future.
盖达尔•阿利耶夫文化中心是一个建筑和广场连续融为一体的流线形整体规划，并成为城市肌理中不可分布的一部分，且重新定义了公共空间和节日
集会空间的序列。那些精心设计的起伏，分叉，褶皱还有形态都让广场展现出热情开放拥抱城市的姿态。建筑也模糊了传统建筑与城市，与广场，
与地面之间的分化。
The design of the Heydar Aliyev Center establishes a continuous, fluid relationship
between its surrounding plaza and the building’s interior. The plaza, as the ground surface; accessible to all as part of Baku’s urban fabric,
rises to envelop an equally public interior space and define a sequence of event spaces dedicated to the collective celebration of contemporary
and traditional Azeri culture. Elaborate formations such as undulations, bifurcations, folds, and inflections modify this plaza surface into an
architectural landscape that performs a multitude of functions: welcoming, embracing, and directing visitors through different levels of the interior.
With this gesture, the building blurs the conventional differentiation between architectural object and urban landscape, building envelope and
urban plaza, figure and ground, interior and exterior.
